Dynamogeny

/ˌdaɪnəˈmɒdʒəni/ noun

Definition

The production or generation of power or energy; a variant term for dynamogenesis, particularly the production of muscular force.

Etymology

From Greek dynamis (power) + -geny (variant of -genesis, origin). This term competes with dynamogenesis as an alternative formation from the same Greek roots.

Kelly Says

Linguistically, 'dynamogeny' and 'dynamogenesis' are near-synonyms created from the same roots but with different suffixes—a quirk showing how scientific terminology sometimes develops multiple names for the same concept.
